February wants your leap of faith. Your cautionary approach won’t work as well as a brave, bold step. The situation calls for it. And the challenges in your home demand you move quickly. You need to sort out where you live – and, most importantly, your state of mind. As a crab whose home is on its back you can’t escape the connection: where you live and YOU. Fiery Mars in your sign gives you extra oomph, although a shorter fuse than usual. But its power will help you decide more quickly.
But Mars has also been retrograde since December 6 – and you’ve had enough! Mars retrograde makes people mad, on every level, and you’ve been dealing with more than your fair share of this. In your first house, which covers your body, looks, persona and image, retrograde Mars can incite flare ups in your body. You may experience sudden fevers and infections. Thankfully, these end quickly. Fiery Mars turns direct Sunday, February 23, and you will feel relief – and, finally, clarity. Plus, then you get to experience just the pure power of Mars, which is very sexy. Bringing admirers your way.
So it’s not surprising that a lusty riot is occurring in your sexual eighth house, ruled by deeply psychic Scorpio. Ha HA! Fantasize away.
In your eighth house you have:
Awesome, life-giving Sun
Brilliant planet of thought and communication, Mercury
Planet of sudden change and burning, Pluto
Asteroid of nurturing and healing, Ceres
Asteroid of wisdom and knowledge, Pallas
A powerful new Aquarius Moon shares the day with the Lunar New Year (Snake), Wednesday, January 29
It is clearly time to trust your insight and intuition with relationships. What else does your eighth house rule?
Your eighth house, traditionally ruled by sexual and psychic Scorpio, covers these areas of your life:
Shared monies and mutual resources
Inheritances, settlements, taxes
Sex, sex, sex
Sharing your deepest truths
Death and rebirth
Merging with another – from company mergers to sex!
Sharing your toys: playing nice with others
Letting go of the past
Shedding an old persona
Clearing out outdated clothes, remnants of a past self
Healing
Regenerating
Recovering your unconscious
Summoning your psychic powers
Shared expenses and mutual resources are up for discussion right now, and I advise you to get your details straight. Put everything into writing. Money is still a sensitive topic, and it is a brilliant time to go over the past, and to think, and to figure things out. To honor these areas of your eighth house.
For now, you have the chance to set yourself up for life. To lay down the foundations of success that can support you in your old age and give you a kind of security that has eluded you up until now. To ensure your future security. It is SO positive, dear Crab.
Have absolute confidence in your reputation because it is a good one. In fact, this February, your reputation precedes you and makes your path all that much easier. All you have to do? Put yourself out there – prepare to be a bit less hermit-like – and go public, as it were. Be prepared to sacrifice a bit of your much-valued privacy.
How to do this? Think of your future!
The new Aquarius Moon the last week of January gives you a new brilliant idea…
Then there’s no stopping you. Away you go, brilliant idea after brilliant idea. Birth after birth after birth. To success!
Also, make solid any potential money-makers by mid-February. Really try to get anything to do with your financials in writing.
But, oh Crabby, as I write this, I see you wringing your hands. What pressure are you bearing under?
In your eighth house of monies with others – this includes a joint account with your spouse or business partner, family money, pay owed to you, or even money you collect/pay on your home – you have a wealth of planetary power, so no fear. (But I see how you are worried.) I see finances tearing at your hair, with a resolution awaiting you around the full Leo Moon of Wednesday, February 12 — so not that long to wait!
With whatever annoying obstacles you’ve had to deal with lately — and they’ve held you up, no doubt — it really all comes down to not wanting to spend more money.
Whatever’s holding you up now can be resolved by money.
I’m sorry to put it so bluntly, dear Crab, but it’s true.
If your computer’s broken, you’re going to have to get a new one. The same applies to your car, your phone, your recording equipment, your travel bags, and exotic / foreign artifacts. You will save money if you replace them (or it) now. You will lose money if you wait and don’t do anything until it’s too late. As you can see, my dear, it’s time for a makeover on many levels!
So, if you are feeling out of sorts, that’s normal. You really don’t like change. And force of habit is powerful. But your hesitation and confusion will clear within a few weeks, by March.
And, finally, there’s love – which brings me to the main theme of February which is passion. There will be passion awakened in you for your career and for your money-making, but there will also be passion in love and in your relationships.
Passion, as you know, can go either way. You will see a reflection of this in other people, as they are temperamental this month. (Mars retrograde until Sunday, February 23.) Whatever happens, do not take it personally. Hard to do, I know, as you are always involved in the well-being of your loved ones, and you are very sensitive to boot. But it is important to keep your head when others are losing theirs. And as long as you let yourself chill with your relationships — that is, not fuss and fret like the mother goose that you are (and that you’re loved for) — you will be more relaxed, and then so will everyone else.
In whatever romance you have, let yourself be pursued, rather than you being the one to pursue. Both coupled Cancer and single Cancer have exceptionally great chance of meeting – and charming – someone this February. Just remember the highs and lows of passion, and do not be put off by someone being hot and cold – again, it is nothing to do with you but is about what they are going through themselves.

Wan February with weeping cheer,
Whose cold hand guides the youngling year
Down misty roads of mire and rime,
Before thy pale and fitful face
The shrill wind shifts the clouds apace
Through skies the morning scarce may climb.
Thine eyes are thick with heavy tears,
But lit with hopes that light the year’s. – February by Mother Goose
